The Legalization through Judicial Ways of the Consumption of the Personal Drug Dose: Is It a Challenge to the Democratic System in Latin America?

Abstract

The drug use has been treated in most of the world from a democratic aspect, having as a challenge the participation of citizens in making decisions or the contemplation of this topic by the current legislation. But Colombia has been the exception due to the permissiveness and restriction of the drug use that has been developed through the judicial channel. The Constitutional Court, on the occasion of its statements, is the one that has changed the treatment about the use and the ones who use it.
